It was already dark, and in the palace with bright lights, the old man was alone, leaning on the recliner. He looked at the sword on the imperial desk outside the door, silently lost in thought.
My eldest grandson is going out to fight, and he wants someone from him, Lan Yu.
In fact, in the old man's heart, Lan Yu is no longer a threat. To be precise, he has never been a threat. It is just a trace of uncertainty in the Ming Dynasty that seems to be beyond his control. His hatred for Lan Yu, except for Lan Yu,
In addition to the bad things Lan Yu did, he was even more worried about the future.
Now, this uneasiness seems to have gradually faded away. There is no such thing as his grandson, who has high hopes for him, who can't control these people or control them.
In today's Ming Dynasty, no one has the chance to become a traitor, let alone anyone to shake the rule of the Zhu family.
But in the heart of the old man, the name Lan Yu is still as uncomfortable as a thorn in his throat. He is old, but Lan Yu is still young and has high prestige. It is like the old alpha wolf in the wolf pack, who must always beware of the wolves.
Like the little wolf in the movie.
From another perspective, the reason why the old man didn't want to see Lan Yu at first was because of the future. A young emperor should not have an overly powerful mother clan, as relatives are a double-edged sword.
Your Majesty! At this time, Pu Bucheng quietly came in from outside, knelt down and said, all the slaves have asked clearly!
Say! The old man simply spit out one word.
When His Highness left the capital, Zhang Shan from Hangzhou Prefecture accompanied him on the boat......
What Pu Bucheng told the old man was what Zhu Yunxi did on his way out of Beijing. When he heard that his eldest grandson had repeatedly asked about his daughter, the old man had a smile on his face.
Damn brat! The old man laughed and cursed, then fell into deep thought again.
It was impossible for Zhu Biao's generation to marry a warrior, but his grandson must not marry the daughters of those noble warriors. However, the bad thing is that the marriage chosen for Zhu Biao was too good.
, and his eldest grandson is someone who values old relationships too much.
A family cannot be dominated by relatives. If you have a family of noble warriors, you should also have civil servants, so that you can check and balance both sides.
The old man secretly thought, Zhang Shan's official position is still a little low, and he is nothing in the court!
However, after thinking about this, the old man smiled again.
Children and grandchildren are evil, and the eldest grandson is already so old, and he still has to think about these things that are beyond his control. In the final analysis, caring leads to chaos.
Pu Bucheng, who was standing next to him, looked at the old man's face and continued to whisper, "Your Majesty, all the people you called are here and waiting outside!"
Call them in!
yes!
Later, heavy footsteps were heard outside the palace, and it sounded like a military commander walking with a sonorous sound.
Then Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, took the lead, followed by Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shushan, Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Yongping, Cao Tai, the Marquis of Yining, Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, and more than ten others.
I will see you, Your Majesty!
These people are all old men, and the youngest ones are in their fifties. They are all old brothers who came to work under the old man when he first became a man. Most of them are Huai people, and a few are still alive.
They are considered his fellow countrymen.
The old man glanced at them lightly, "The emperor's grandson is going to the capital to fight, and we are not at ease, so you all should go with us."
Your Majesty, don't worry, there are ministers waiting for you, and your Highness will definitely return to the court with a great victory! Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, spoke first.
You are all fighting men who have been wallowing in the dead all their lives. If you can't win even if you fight Goryeo, then your life has been in vain. The old man snorted. Let's start with the words first. If you can't help me, I will pick off yours.
Head!
One thing after another, these founding generals who killed countless people were not afraid of anything, but they did not dare to breathe when they saw the emperor. From the early days before the emperor ascended the throne, as long as the emperor stared at them, these people would get cramps in their calves.
I obey the order! The generals said loudly.
Do it well and serve the emperor's grandson well, and each of your families will be rich and prosperous for several more decades. If not... With that said, the old man waved his hand, go down, go home and get ready!
Yes! All the military officials kowtowed respectfully and slowly retreated.

The farewell was like a wedding, a rare moment for the couple in Kunning Palace to sleep together in the same bed.
Zhao Ning'er's belly is already big, and her whole face exudes a maternal luster, as warm and smooth as mutton-fat jade.
Just now, after Zhu Yunxi's hard work, his fair face was still flushed, and he leaned lazily in Zhu Yunxi's arms. His arms were wrapped around Zhu Yunxi's neck with some nostalgia.
In an imperial family, even the kind of love that an ordinary couple can expect is a luxury. If it is an ordinary family, and the husband has been away for more than a month and cannot stay for more than two days, it would be strange for the daughter-in-law not to be angry.
But in the imperial family, the wife can only hide all her thoughts in her heart and cannot show any of them on her face.
I feel wronged, but I am in the palace! Zhu Yunxi hugged his wife and patted her on the shoulder. I want to spend more time with you in my family, country, and country, but military and national affairs are important...
Your Highness does not need to blame yourself, I understand that state affairs are the most important thing! Zhao Ning'er came closer and hugged her a little tighter. Your Highness is out, so there is no need to worry about Concubine. On weekdays, if I feel bored, I will go to Empress Hui's place.
.Or, call your mother and sister into the palace.
Once entering the palace, it was as deep as the sea, and life in the palace was difficult. Zhao Ning'er was obviously smiling when she spoke, but Zhu Yunxi still saw the hint of sadness in her eyes.
Don’t worry, I’ll come back as soon as I go, it won’t take long! Zhu Yunxi comforted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch the other person’s smooth belly. He continued to smile and said, we will definitely come back before our child is born!
Well! Zhao Ning'er nodded heavily and hugged her arms tighter.
Are you reluctant to let me go? Zhu Yunxi smiled evilly into the other person's ear, and then hugged the other person directly in his arms. Since he was reluctant to let me go, he just served me well. The posture I told you last time...
....?
Zhao Ning'er blushed with embarrassment and did not dare to open her eyes. She murmured, "How could His Highness know so many things?"
Read! Study! Zhu Yunxi said softly.
The Kunning Palace is full of spring scenery, and in the East Palace there is a beautiful woman leaning against the window and looking to the west.
Miaoyun stood in front of the window, looking at the palace city in the night, her whole body motionless, like a statue.
It's getting late, please take a rest! The personal palace maid whispered advice from behind.
Hmm! Miaoyun responded lightly, but did not move.
Manager Park said that His Highness was resting in Kunning Palace. You...don't wait any longer! The palace lady spoke again. The Manager Park she was talking about was the deputy steward of the East Palace, Pu Wuyong.
Got it! Miaoyun turned around, closed the window, sat in front of the dressing table, took off the carefully arranged headdress on her head, and whispered, "You can go out, there is no need to wait!"
The palace maid glanced worriedly, then lowered her head and went out.
Miaoyun was the only one left in the room. She glanced sadly at her charming face in the bronze mirror. Then she lowered her head and touched her flat belly. Finally, two tears fell down her face.

The next day, during the court meeting, officials of sixth rank and above in Beijing and envoys from various vassal states stood outside Fengtian Hall.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, but the voices echoing inside and outside the hall were full of murderous intent.
Zhu Yunxi stood beside the old man and read aloud the imperial edict to conquer Goryeo.
Goryeo was a small, remote country, a land of barbarians. Only by imbibing the teachings of China and receiving the legacy of the Celestial Dynasty could the whole country survive in the world. The Ming Dynasty governed the world with benevolence, tolerance and virtue, and allowed its country to be prosperous and regarded as a vassal.
However, although its country was small, it was a wolf! When the Yuan and Ming Dynasties came and went, and the Central Plains was in chaos, the big neighboring countries of Goryeo did not know how to observe etiquette, and they had ulterior motives, occupying the old land of China, and plundering the people who had transformed China into foreign countries.
The Ming Dynasty complied with the destiny and was the orthodoxy of China. It upheld the millennium of benevolence and was considerate of Goryeo, a small country far away from the country.
The clinker, Goryeo, cheated and obtained several states in Liaodong, but was still greedy and sent troops to Liaodong several times. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate it, and gods and men are indignant!
I once said that the surrounding vassal states are not a danger to China, so they should not be conquered.
This lack of levy is not a matter of inability, but of unwillingness. The ancients said that if you do not fight with troops far away, you will not improvise your troops. However, people from all over Korea regarded my words as if they were nothing, and actually sent troops to the banks of the Yalu River.
You are deceiving me because there is no one in the Ming Dynasty, you are deceiving me because I have no generals, or you are deceiving me about my generosity!
I have warned you several times, but Goryeo ignored you. I have a good life and do not want to commit more crimes, but Goryeo will destroy itself!
The small country of Goryeo relies on the vast sea. Don’t you know that the vast sea is shared by the Ming Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty is the country of China. Wherever Wang Shi goes, mountains and seas will also help him!
Korea, above, disrespects the destiny of heaven and below, disrespects China, has no virtue, no courtesy, no loyalty and no shame. I have declared to God that I have ordered the army to march eastward and use snow to insult the two ends of the country. The Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
If you point your sail eastward, you will be wiped out.
Quan knew about the affairs of the Goryeo family, the Li family, who was originally a minister of the Goryeo royal family. He was favored by the country, but he did things that were usurpable and rebellious. He acted against the will and made the heaven angry and resentful. As the Spring and Autumn Period goes, if rebellious ministers and traitors are punished, everyone must punish them.
After reading this, Zhu Yunxi's voice was already a little hoarse.
Finally, he put away the imperial edict, looked at the ministers in the palace, and continued to say loudly, "How can rebellious ministers and traitors be kings? From now on, the Li family of Goryeo is a thief. I will take back the title of the country given by me, and ask for the edicts of several canonizations."
, a gift from the emperor.
I order the Emperor and Crown Prince Yunxi to take my place and conquer Goryeo in the east, destroy its country, burn its temples, punish the traitors of its country, and restore peace to the world!
Long live my emperor!
The moment Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, the imperial city was filled with the cheers of long live the courtiers.
The grandson of the emperor is a thousand years old!
At the end of the imperial edict, Zhu Yunxi went to war on behalf of the emperor as the crown prince, which was equivalent to the emperor's personal expedition. All civil and military officials in the world, as well as troops and horses everywhere, were in his hands. Anyone who dared to disobey the order would be killed without asking for permission.
Where are the generals? Zhu Yunxi looked at the queue of warriors gearing up and shouted loudly.
Your Majesty is waiting! All the generals suddenly fell to their knees.
Everyone returns to their camps, takes care of their subordinates, and destroys the small barbarian country that knows no dignity with Gu!
Well! Everyone roared, and then the generals on the expedition walked out of the hall with their heads held high.
Outside the palace, the faces of the envoys from the vassal state attending the court meeting were as pale as earth.
Especially the North Korean envoy who has been in Beijing all year round has collapsed on the ground like mud, trembling but unable to make any sound.
Goryeo...Goryeo has absolutely no disobedience.
As he spoke, he raised his head blankly and looked around, only to find that everyone around him was far away from him, and everyone was looking at him with disgust.
Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, strode over, holding a copy of the imperial edict in his hand, and angrily said, "Get up! In the imperial city of the Celestial Dynasty, you are so rude, how unbecoming is it?" As he said this, he put the copy of the imperial edict at the feet of the Goryeo envoy, and took it
Go back and show your false king, if he is still a human being, wipe his neck and beg for death, so as to save the Ming Dynasty King Master from having to trouble!
After saying that, he walked away.
War is not only a matter for military men, but also for civil servants. These civil servants do not want to fight, but it does not mean that they are afraid of war.
The Ming Dynasty arose in a time of chaos and war, and established the country with force. No matter how pedantic the civil servants were, they still carried a certain amount of heroism. Before the war started, they would complain a little. But once the war was declared, they had only one thought.
